One letter from Ann Lyon to Richard Jerome Silbiger, dated December 12, 1943. Ann writes to her nephew that a care package is coming his way, but not to believe its size as a lot of it is packaging. She says they are stuffed Olives that his Aunt Sade said he likes. She left the packaging to a man at Delaney Street, and when he finished packing it looked much bigger. Sends her love to Dorothy.
